General park information

Parks are open from 8am Monday to Saturday, and from 8:30am on Sundays. Parks will be closed at sunset every evening. Toilets close one hour before the park. Gates will be locked at closing time. For more information see public park opening and closing times 2017 - 2018 (PDF).

Byelaws

We have local park byelaws to prevent anti-social behaviour, as well as dog control orders which provide guidance on bringing your dog to the park. Owners can receive an £80 Fixed Penalty Notice if they do not follow these rules. It is also illegal to have a barbecue in a park or open space. Police and community officers enforce these byelaws.
